Escape from London

by Andrew Brehony

This is the second story released as part of The Undead Presents — a project publishing fan-written fiction set in the world of RR Haywood’s The Undead.

Written by Andrew Brehony, Escape From London is a fast, furious, and fun survival horror packed with Irish wit and teenage chaos.

What begins as a routine school trip quickly spirals into madness when the global outbreak erupts on Day One. Trapped in the heart of the city, the students and teachers of Woods College must fight to survive.

Fear. Betrayal. The horrors of the infected. Every step could be their last as London collapses into chaos.

Tears will be shed. Hurleys will be swung with a vengeance. Blood will be spilled.

Can they Escape From London?

I enjoyed reading it but it all seemed a little too frantic for me. The action came too solid too fast, perhaps a few flashbacks to people’s previous lives could have broken up the action a bit? Also we seemed to lose the Undead link halfway through and it just became a book about the group and nothing else? If the characters had been fleshed out earlier on and perhaps the action had been broken up with maybe another chain of events I would have been quite happy giving this a four/five star rating. An enjoyable book and I would happily read another by the author

This is a great start

Andrew really captured the essence of The Undead. Great characters. Plenty of action and some uncomfortable drama. Write more. We can't wait to find out more about Ivy.

Great addition to the undead series

I have read all of the undead series and enjoyed the addition of both Cornwall and Escape from London. Looking forward to reading what happens to the Irish group and will they ever get to meet up with Howie.

This is the 2nd book in the undead presents series I’ve read and this is another one that seems like it belongs and is part of RR Haywoods world.
Brilliant - hope there’s a continuation

I enjoyed it, but felt it was a bit too rushed. still a good read though. Just needed a few tweaks , 1 or 2 less scenes and maybe a bit of character background. but well done Andrew,
